But of course!
I know, right? Every time my birthday comes up I think of Sixteen Candles, and I'm way past 16. __________________

It's such a classic. I remember when I watched it the first time. I couldn't believe I had not seen it before. I waited too long to meet Jake Ryan.  __________________

ROCKSTAR, I definitely went through wanting to have my very own Jake Ryan phase...actually, I still want one.
I still can't get over just how much Hughes got away with in a PG movie, actually. Welcome to the thread, Stacy!  Have you guys checked out that tribute I linked to in the OP...it's really good. I was thinking about how Hughes had some of the best quotes in his movies, and this one came to mind... Planes, Trains, & Automobliles: Car Rental Agent: Welcome to Marathon, may I help you? Neal: Yes. Car Rental Agent: How may I help you? Neal: You can start by wiping that ****ing dumb-ass smile off your rosey, ****ing, cheeks! Then you can give me a ****ing automobile: a ****ing Datsun, a ****ing Toyota, a ****ing Mustang, a ****ing Buick! Four ****ing wheels and a seat! Car Rental Agent: I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me. Neal: And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of ****ing nowhere with ****ing keys to a ****ing car that isn't ****ing there. And I really didn't care to ****ing walk down a ****ing highway and across a ****ing runway to get back here to have you smile in my ****ing face. I want a ****ing car right ****ing now! Car Rental Agent: May I see your rental agreement? Neal: I threw it away. Car Rental Agent: Oh boy. Neal: Oh boy, what? Car Rental Agent: You're ****ed! All the uses of the F-word are just priceless!  ETA: Here's that moment if any of you want to watch it. I just re-watched it. That lady's face is pricless! And she's from Ferris Bueller too.Last edited by goodbreakingbad; 12-23-2008 at 11:04 PM |

Do you think they sell Jake Ryans' on amazon?
It's pretty good, very funny, but it also has a lot of heart to it too. Last edited by goodbreakingbad; 12-27-2008 at 11:08 PM |

If only.... Yeah, critics always point it out. I have to look to see if it pops on the movie channels. __________________
